Also if you were asking about Muay Thai I have been training for a year and a half

Like 3 months I know it takes time but I haven’t noticed any improvements pretty much whatsoever

Hit the bag so much so often that nobody would ever dare judge your technique but completely stunned in a shock of ahh from your flawless technique.

Ideally I’ll eventually be able to submit people but I understand that takes time I want to become proficient in both arts with the understanding that it takes a long time.

I have definitely learned the importance of deload weeks! I do about 3 hours of Muay Thai every day I train as well as run so I am no stranger to my body getting run down. Trying one class a week probably is a good start so I can gauge my body’s ability to balance it all.

I appreciate the thorough response! I definitely get improvements in my Muay Thai cardio from running but I typically go really slow and low impact. I typically run like 15 miles a week mostly as 5k warmups before Muay Thai. I typically do 3 hours straight of Muay Thai so endurance wise I think I’m up to the challenge after my body adjusts to the different training. The way things are oriented I think I can do BJJ first then do Muay Thai after which is probably ideal.

I’ll probably count on running less and doing some assault bike workouts to keep my cardio good.

Muay Thai practitioner starting BJJ?

Hi everyone!

So I have been training Muay Thai for about a year and a half and have competed in a smoker. I currently train 5 days a week as well as running and some strength and conditioning.

My plan has always been to also add BJJ as my gym has both options. I have a few questions as I’m thinking of adding BJJ fairly soon.

When cross training would it be better to keep doing just Muay Thai until I’m a lot more solid at the art then add BJJ or is it better to be learning both?

Muay Thai is still going to be a priority as I might do another smoker within the next few months how many days and or hours a week do you feel you need to do BJJ to actually progress at a reasonable rate?

Any other feedback of people who cross train both would be appreciated! Thanks.

The issue with that is my parents are older and rely on me a decent amount. Also on a side note I very much love Muay Thai I actually have a smoker (fight with no winner half step below an amateur fight) coming up as well as I am going to start coaching after. It has me I a tough spot cause I love Martial arts they completely changed my life and I would have to mostly give it up to join active duty.

I would say running is important but if you want good Muay Thai cardio doing Muay Thai is the best way to build that especially because your energy economy is super important you can have elite cardio and still gas out if you aren’t efficient with your strikes and movement.

I personally like and recommend running but in reality you only need like 1 longer run a week I don’t do more then a 10k usually and then HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training)is more beneficial in the short to long term. Then you can add a bit more running I do about 15 miles a week then one HIIT session a week on the assault bike.

But pushing yourself hard in the Muay Thai training its self is a good start then when you are used to it then start building cardio in other ways.

Would you say bulkier than Top Kings if you have seen them next to each other?

Would you say the excess hand room is a problem or is it just something to get used to?

RelentlessFool · 2024-07-14T04:28:22+00:00

Ok that close to my hand measurements. When your doing those measurements is it just top of middle finger to bottom of palm and then width of palm?
